Life grows exceeding strange, to quote Shakespeare…it’s been really dicey for me lately so instead of dwelling on it, which I’ve been doing for about 3 weeks, I’ve come to the realization that I’ve got to remain in a state of gratitude in order to keep on truckin’.

No matter what gets you down, you owe it to yourself to own what is yours and move forward in gratitude. It may not feel like you’ve got any reason to feel grateful, believe me, I know…I’m sittin’ right next to ya. BUT, it will only drag you down more.

Take some time for yourself and sit with your challenges. Think about how you can get yourself out from under that grey cloud. All is not lost. You’ll always have a chance to give up, why do it now? The Doobies have that one right, man. Don’t give up. It sure looks bleak for me these days, but I know that I’m one blessed individual. I’ve got a lot of anger and that is coming from fear. Fear is only FALSE EVIDENCE APPEARING REAL. So, what am I gonna do about it? I’m gonna laugh. I’m gonna sing. I’m gonna make it right in my mind and manifest my victory.

You can do it too. You can. It doesn’t matter if you’re broke (check), unemployed (check) or just plain depressed (check)…there are things you can be grateful for and here are some that I can think of:

1. You’re not a serial killer. Sure, you may think that it’s a given, but there are times when you have to think…there is a certain logic to homicide. (you know I’m joking)

2. You’re a rock star and you know it, man. Music will lift your spirits, so be thankful for music.

3. Laughter is the best medicine. Watch a video/DVD that makes you happy. I’m going with Auntie Mame. She’s my inspiriation. Be thankful you can still laugh in spite of it all. Possibly BECAUSE of it all. I’m usually at my funniest when I’m pissed off or down in the dumps. Go figure.

4. You have life. You’re still breathing. You’re vital. Revel in it.

5. You’ve got an internet connection. Lots of people don’t.

6. You’re reading this and thinking, “So who died and made Pfunk Pollyanna all of a sudden?” That’s pretty funny.

7. SOMEONE loves ya.  Maybe a whole lot of someones. That’s groovy.

8. Your spirit will take you far. Keep it up. Let it shine.

9. No matter  what, I think you’re groovy. And since I think I’M pretty groovy, that makes it even groov…well, you get the point.

10. You are the only ‘you’ on the planet. You’re unique, which is an absolute. No one can take that away from you. You’re okay, kid.

Here’s hoping we all make it home okay.

In my case, here’s hoping I have a home.

ha ha h…ah, shaddup.

Always look on the bright side of life. (insert whistles here)

On the other hand, I could be all wet.
But I doubt it.
Keep on truckin’, my friends. Keep on truckin’.
